Live concert by Mbosso filmed at the 11th edition of the Yamaha Come Together Concert Series, in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on December 22, 2023. Born Mbwana Yusuph Kilungi, Mbosso is one of the great voices of bongo flava, the Tanzanian urban pop blending Swahili, R&B, afropop and warm melodies. A star of the WCB Wasafi label and former member of the Yamato Band, he delivers here a generous full concert where his sentimental hits meet a live interpretation and a complicit dialogue with the audience. This live capture documents the vitality of the contemporary East African music scene, between danceable grooves, romantic ballads and infectious energy. Backed by a live band, the performance reveals the stage dimension of an artist known mostly through his music videos, and the growing place of bongo flava in world music. A world live concert to discover for Mbosso’s melodic sweetness and the warm atmosphere of a major Tanzanian musical event, filmed in the heart of Dar es Salaam before a won-over crowd.
